This episode marks the first time Kate Beckett's full name, Katherine Houghton Beckett, is used.
When the tech is demonstrating the techniques used to narrow down the network connections, all of the IP addresses listed include octets greater than 255 (some higher than 300 as well). This is not possible, as no IP address can have a value greater than 255 in any of its octets.
Beckett: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept secrets.
Castle: It's who you are. You don't let people in. I've had to scratch and claw for every inch.
Beckett: Castle--
Castle: Please let me finish. I've been doing a lot of thinking about us, about our relationship, what we have, where we're headed. I've decided I want more. We both deserve more.
Beckett: I agree.
Castle: So whatever happens, and whatever you decide, Katherine Houghton Beckett, will you marry me?
Martin: (during the interrogation) I told you, I've never seen this girl before in my life. You're wasting your time.
Beckett: Do you have any idea how many people have sat across that table and confessed their sins to me? What makes you think that you're any different, any smarter? You've only been in this room for one hour. But this room-this room has been my life. My home. And I will not let you sit there and lie to me in my own home.
Jim: So, what are you gonna do?
Beckett: I don't know, dad. It's like I'm standing at a crossroads and I have to choose between two possible futures.
Jim: Why do you think you have to choose?
Beckett: Because, dad, he's right. If I take this job, then there's not gonna be time for anyone else. And then if I don't--
Jim: It'll be because of him, and you'll end up resenting him for it.
Beckett: Or worse. Dad, I don't know what we have. I don't know if it's real. It's like we've been doing this dance for the past five years and I mean, what happens when the music stops? What if all we were in love with was the dance?
Beckett: (about the job offer) Castle, this isn't about you. This is about me. This is about my life.
Castle: So you're seriously considering this?
Beckett: Yes. This is a wonderful opportunity. It'll be a chance to do more.
Castle: Without me.
Beckett: Castle, please don't do this. Please don't make this about us.
Castle: I'm sorry. Tell me how this isn't about us? You get this job, you move to DC, I'll never see you. That's pretty much the end of our relationship, isn't it?
Beckett: You don't know that. And I probably won't even get the job.
Castle: That's not the point. The point is, you knew what this could mean and it didn't occur to you to include me. Or worse, it did occur to you and you chose not to. Now what does that say about us? Not much, you ask me.
Castle: Maybe Erika was some kind of online Erin Brockovich, you know, a crusader for good delving into the seedy underbelly of the legal system in order to uncover some seamy truth.
Beckett: Or maybe she was just hired by a rival firm to steal privileged information.
Castle: Now why must you be so cynical?
Beckett: It's in my job description.
Castle: Which is why you need me.
Esposito: Crystal Sky? That name's so fake, it sounds like something out of one of your books.
Castle: Right? Whoa. What-what-what is that supposed to mean?
Esposito: What do you mean, what is that supposed to mean? Derrick Storm? Nikki Heat? Jameson Rook? Would it kill you to name someone Gonzales every once in a while?
